Lisa of Pomona, a self proclaimed “tom boy” and military veteran, had been pushed by family and friends to do some kind of makeover for the last decade. She hadn’t been in a dress for 8 years and chooses sports bras and sneakers as her staple wardrobe items.  Lisa wanted a change so her daughter could see her Mom in another light.  Plus, she wouldn’t mind scoring a date here and there as well.  Our Stranger Change Her was the perfect fit.

First up, putting Lisa in our “Stranger Chamber” at Westside Pavilion — where shoppers shared their insight on what they thought I should do with Lisa’s one day make over.

"Stranger Change Her" pick Alice's reveal (Alice in blue) with friends and family, SSD Co Founder Crystal Fambrini, and KTLA Anchor Jessica Holmes at the KTLA Morning Show.

Alice of Glendora is a mother of two, a professional volunteer, an artist and VERY eager for a change as she was sick and tired of people thinking her kids were her grandkids! Can you blame her?  So, Style Seen Daily and KTLA joined forces to help Alice find a new look and gain the self-confidence she needed and deserved.

In one day we gave Alice a new wardrobe, a new hairstyle, and new makeup. But first, Alice had to stand in our “Stranger Change Her” at the Westside Pavillion mall for one hour while shoppers critiqued her look and told us what kind of looks would be best for her.

Watch Alice’s “before” here:

The launch of Stranger Change-Her was a huge success as Alice wowed her friends and family with an incredible new look and a great sense of confidence.

Watch Alice’s “after” here:

Alice’s outfit, a blue structured blouse, black pants, stylish heeled clogs, and beaded necklace were from Lane Bryant at Westside Pavillion.  Crystal also surprised Alice with a Michael Kors White jacket from Macy’s at Westside Pavilion.

We made sure to find Alice clothes that accentuated her positives and were more fitted than her usual painting tees and jeans. We also tried to get her out of her comfort zone of sneakers and drab colors, so the clogs and cobalt blue shirt were a perfect fit for her.

Her hair was colored and styled at the Gavert Atelier Salon in Beverly Hills. They took the critique of the mall shoppers who said she should stay blonde but go a shade darker. The cut and color are manageable and Alice told us that she loves it. She got her eyebrows shaped and make up done by Valerie from Valerie of Beverly Hills – all this shaved off years on her age!

Alice’s primary complaint of receiving comments that she looked like her kids’ grandmother, rather than Mom is now gone!

Her children Sarah, 14, and Jacob, 11, love their Mom’s new look. “She looks different… in a good way,” Jacob said about his newly stylish mother. Julie Henry, Alice’s girl scout troupe co-leader thought Alice’s reveal was fantastic.  ”She deserved it, she does so much for everybody else all the time, so its nice for her to have something for herself.”

All of Alice's friends, family, and girl scouts, were so surprised to see her new look, and they loved it. Photo Credit: SSD

In the end, Alice loved the experience and now knows how to shop for “the right things,” she said. She took the advice from the strangers like a champ and was able to turn herself from drab to fab.

Gorgeous wedding gowns at KTLA studios.

Some say your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and the wedding gown, well that’s arguably THE MOST important dress of your life.  So, could you imagine having the public choose your gown? Well, that is exactly what Los Angeles Times Assistant Editor Allison Kornberg has chosen to do, letting people just like you and I make the vote for her gown and other essential wedding decisions on her “Plan My Wedding” blog.

Style Seen Daily Co Founder Crystal Fambrini appeared on The KTLA Morning Show with Jessica Holmes to show Allison three options for wedding dresses and accessories.  Wedding lines Aalia Bridal Couture, Ullaa Maija Couture and Angel Sanchez each provided a dress.  Crystal went shopping at Westside Pavilion and The Los Cerritos Center and pulled diamonds from Zales, pearls from Ben Bridge, and costume jewelry from Nordstrom.

It’s time to make some decisions, and Allison needs our votes to figure out which dress she will be wearing walking down the aisle.

Watch the “Crystal Cam: Behind The Scenes at KTLA for Allison’s Wedding Dresses Segment” here…

And here is the KTLA live video…

Ivory Gown by Aalia Bridal Couture.

Couture Bridal Designer Nanaz Hatami created the gorgeous Aalia Bridal dress and was with us behind the scenes helping fit the models.  She told us she got her inspiration of designing when she worked for SAKS in the 80′s in the wedding department and scoped out all the incredible pieces from various designers.  Nanaz has had the honor to work with Valentino and Oscar De La Renta. Making elegant wedding gowns is not the only thing Nanaz does, evening wear and mother of the bride is also part of her line.  Bride to be Allison described Hatami’s dress as “enchanting” and stated “even my grandma, the toughest judge of the whole brood, said it oozed my personality.” The couture gown is priced at $2500.

Will Allison wear this dress by Ulla Maija Couture?

This uniquely crafted gown called  ”Stephanie” is by designer Anna Maier of Ulla Maija Couture.  Each dress is custom made for each bride. Allison loved how this gown was “three or four dresses in one depending on the angle you looked at it,”and told us she “melted in it”  when she put it on. The beautiful draping and exquisite fabrics — dutch satin and italien taffeta– makes this gown very luxurious.

So, have you fallen in love with this gown? The Stephanie Gown is available at SAKS in Beverly Hills and the designer Anna Maier will be there in person on August 14, in case you are looking for a designer. The Stephanie is priced at $4,900.

And what girl doesn’t love a little sparkle, Crystal paired diamonds from Zales: The Diamond Store to this dress for an extra pop. Diamond teardrop earrings, priced at $2,400.

How about some flower power too, hand embroidered  with Swarovski crystals this brooch completes the dress, also can go in brides hair.

“Simple yet elegant” Allison told us of the Angel Sanchez off white gown. The designer Angel Sanchez is know for his elegant  designs and architectural flare, also keeping in mind a  feminine glow with a touch of drama to each dress. It is a beautifully crafted piece of art  made of fabrics. The dress is priced at $2,860.

We added some extra glow to this piece with accessories from Nordstoms. The Nadri chandelier earrings priced at $138 and Nadri Bangles priced at $100.

Celebrites like Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields and Salma Hayek are also fans of this designer for their big day, because of the way the dress celebrates a women’s body. Focusing on the structure of the dress and keeping in mind, “less is more.”
